Here's the Kharis bust I just finished. As many of you know, he is one of my very favorite Universal Monsters, and there isn't nearly enough merchandise for him! I think that it came out pretty good, considering this is my first foray into sculpting.  :) :) :)

For a first time sculptor, that's darned good! You only referenced stills from the 1942 movie?
How did you do the hair? It looks all caked and matted, as it should. Thanks for the pics, BRICK.

I did sculpt it over a life-mask of Chaney Jr. using reference stills from The Mummy's Tomb. The hair is actually strands from a wig; glued and caked down with clay. The neck wrappings are lace fabric, saturated with clay.
